Ingredients
- 2 cups refried beans
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the refried beans, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the spices.
Step 2
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bean mixture and stir until the cheese is evenly distributed.
Step 3
Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean workspace. Spread about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1-2 inches of space at the edges to make rolling easier.
Step 4
Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a burrito. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking (approximately 350°F/175°C).
Step 6
Carefully place the burritos seam-side down into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each burrito for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy all around.
Step 7
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the crispy burritos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Enjoy!
